Well, is the story interesting otherwise? It's not like there's a dearth of poor people struggling against the odds to make ends meet in order to provide for their families. I come across dozens every day at my job. Really, it's the subject of about 8 billion stories, most of which are entirely boring. I can't see myself ever having something like this done about myself unless the focus of the tale were on something that didn't rely wholly on a reflection of my personal character, because that reflection would have to be extremely positive for there to be anything worth watching. As a retrospective on someone's life after they've passed on, great. For somebody that's still alive... be humble enough to refuse.
Again, I can't fully explain why this settled on me the way it did, and I don't even think in reality what I'm saying is even necessarily true... I'm just trying to demonstrate and explain the feeling that came over me, not argue that the guy is truly an egomaniac. It just comes down to the fact that I don't feel like I could do it myself without feeling like an ass, I guess. In my experience, when people tell stories about their depth of character, generally it's because they don't actually have much, which is demonstrated by their lack of humility. You don't need to chew me out, I don't know the guy, I don't know that such a feeling is warranted, I didn't even realize he'd written a book so I've no idea what that's like, I'm just giving you the impression I got when I saw the clip of him. That's all.
Why are we still talking about this?
